Cyrano
"A completely modern romantic comedy tinged with unsettling, gender-based power dynamics" with "an interesting twist that resonates in today's #MeToo climate."--Marissa Oberlander, Chicago Reader
About the Play
|
An original retelling of the French Classic by Edmond Rostand, this romantic comedy follows Cyrano, a female soldier, in a tale of unrequited love. As she vies for the beautiful Roxanne, Cyrano wrestles with self-doubt, body-shaming, and toxic masculinity in a world of "all's fair in love and war," armed with sword-like quips, fair friends, and more than a fair amount of pastries.
